TRANSFORMATIVE THERAPY FOR TRANS AND GENDER DIVERSE FOLX

Let go of your past, find your peace in the present, and create the joyful future you deserve

YOUR HEALING JOURNEY BEGINS HERE

​​

If you've lived through traumatic experiences and don't know how to let them go, or you've been stuck in cycles of anxiety/depression and struggle to find happiness, please know that you're not alone.

If you are feeling depleted, tired, confused, or overwhelmed, a good therapist can help you slow down and put the pieces together. If you are feeling reactive and on edge or feeling like running away, or just plain shut down, good therapy can help you restore connection with yourself and others. And if you are feeling like traditional talk therapy is not enough, then you have definitely come to the right place!

I’m here to help you experience the change, relief and lightness you’re looking for. I’m a psychotherapist with a passion for transformative work that makes a real difference in the lives of people I see.

I love to see my clients grow and flourish as self-aware and happier people! The pain and sorrow, and the joy and laughter, are welcome in my sessions. My space is non-judgemental, sensitive, and welcoming to all racial, cultural, sexual, and gender identities.

✮ I approach therapy from a place of collaboration, support, and acceptance ✮

My work weaves Internal Family Systems (IFS), DBT, mindfulness and somatic therapies with a trauma-informed approach. I’m trained in EMDR therapy, and I offer Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), a holistic modality in which ketamine complements therapy to help my clients experience more frequent breakthroughs and sustained improvement in symptoms. I believe in the healing power of love and connection to restore our inherent resiliency and wisdom.

❀ ABOUT ME ❀

As a skilled and compassionate therapist, I focus on a range of vital issues, including trauma, anxiety, and depression. I provide a safe space for individuals to explore their identities, heal from past experiences, while ensuring that they feel seen, heard, and understood. My goal is for my clients to reclaim their lives, build resilience, and embrace a more fulfilling future.
